APPLETON — A school bus crashed into a car that was stopped on the Oneida Street bridge Wednesday morning due to mechanical problems.

The carís driver, who was in his vehicle at the time of the crash, had minor injuries, but was not taken to the hospital, Lund said.

The students on the bus, who were headed to McKinley Elementary and Foster Elementary charter schools, were not injured and were transferred to another bus.
